Full details
The Web-Tex Extendable Bivi Pole is an essential tool for outdoor enthusiasts, bushcrafters, and campers who require a lightweight, reliable support system for their bivi or tarp setups. It provides the crucial vertical lift needed to prevent fabric sag and maximize internal shelter space, though it is specifically designed for smaller structures rather than large heavy-duty tents.

FAQs
What is the maximum height of the pole?
The pole extends to a maximum height of 90cm.
Does this come as a pair or a single pole?
The Web-Tex Extendable Bivi Pole is sold as a single unit.
Can this be used for heavy canvas tarps?
This pole is designed for lightweight bivi setups; it is not recommended for heavy canvas structures as it may buckle under extreme weight.
Is the pole rust-proof?
It is constructed for durability in field conditions, but like all metal gear, it should be cleaned and dried after use in wet conditions to prevent corrosion.
How do I secure it in soft ground?
The pole features a flat base; if the ground is soft, place a flat rock or a piece of wood under the base to prevent the pole from sinking.
Troubleshooting
The pole slips and will not maintain its set height.
Ensure the twist-lock mechanism is completely dry and free of grit. Wipe the sections down and re-tighten firmly.
The sections are stuck and will not extend.
Gently tap the side of the pole or use a light penetrating oil on the junction point to loosen debris that may be jamming the locking mechanism.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the pole, hold the two sections firmly and rotate them in opposite directions to loosen the internal locking mechanism. Slide the pole to your desired height, then twist back in the opposite direction until tight. For maintenance, ensure the pole is wiped clean of grit, mud, or sand after use in the field. Regularly check the internal locking mechanism to ensure it is free from debris, as buildup can prevent the twist-lock from securing properly. Always store the pole in a dry, ventilated area to prevent long-term corrosion.
